The change introduced by https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/990637 made
the build of the Slurm testsuite package reproducible but broke the object
files which can no longer be used to link a binary.

 find -type f -name "*.[ao]" -print | while read f; do
 # drop non-deterministic lto bits from .o files
   strip -p --discard-locals -R .gnu.lto_* -R .gnu.debuglto_* -N __gnu_lto_v1
$f
 done

gets applied to two object files which are included in the testsuite package.
These objects cannot be built at runtime (of the testsuite) unless we ship a
load of header files. The steps required to make this work would be awkward.

Unfortunately, these objects cannot be linked into a binary any more, one gets:

$ gcc test24.4.prog.c -g -pthread -o test24.4.prog -I/srv/slurm-testsuite

Thus, we need to find a different solution.

Since we do allow shipping of static libraries, which obviously need to be
reproducible but also need to work still, we should be able to apply the same
post-processing to these objects to make them reproducible.

The toolchain team may be able to help here.
